against two friends , who allegedly took a 23 -
year - old girl to a club and raped her.
Spokesman of the command , CSP Chike Oti ,
said in a statement on Tuesday that the
suspects, who had been apprehended took the
victim to Dallankester Hotels , Lekki, Phase One ,

According to Oti , unknown to the victim that
the duo had ulterior motives, while at the club ,
they mixed the young woman ’ s drink with a
substance that made her weak and almost
unconscious .
“ Satisfied that the drug was beginning to affect
the victim, they quietly left the club with her to
Dallankester Hotels in Lekki , owned by the
father of one of the suspects named Don - Chima
George .
“ At the hotel , they took turns to rape her. As if
that wasn’ t enough , they videoed the abuse.
“ When the victim woke up from the induced
sleep, she confronted the suspects who denied
having carnal knowledge of her .
“ Not satisfied , she placed a call to her elder
brother complaining that she had been violated .
“ The brother immediately invited policemen
from Maroko Division led by the Divisional
Police Officer, CSP Isah Abdulmajid, to the
scene .
“ On searching the suspects, the DPO recovered
their phones and went through their video
recordings where he saw a video of the
suspects sexually abusing the apparently
unconscious victim, ” he said .
Oti said the Commissioner of Police in the state ,
Mr Edgal Imohimi , had directed the Gender
Section of the command to investigate and
prosecute the suspects to serve as a deterrent to
others .
